LifeScan and Cecelia Health Sign Expanded Multi-Year Partnership to Offer Live Diabetes Telehealth Support in Combination with OneTouch Solutions…

MALVERN, Pa. and NEW YORK, Aug. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --LifeScan, a world leader in blood glucose monitoring, serving more than 20 million people with diabetes and the maker of the iconic OneTouch brand products, and Cecelia Health, one of the nation's most scalable virtual care companies focused on diabetes and chronic disease management, today announced the addition of a fully integrated live telehealth service with the OneTouch Reveal app.

Building on the success of their 2020 partnership, LifeScan and Cecelia Health will launch a new live Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialists (CDCES) telehealth service through the highly rated OneTouch Reveal app.

"Cecelia Health has been an incredibly important partner to LifeScan by bringing their unmatched Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist capabilities through our OneTouch Reveal app to care for, educate, and empower people with diabetes," said Val Asbury, LifeScan president and chief executive officer. "We are proud to expand upon our partnership with Cecelia Health's live telehealth service, together adding the connectivity, convenience and the personalized support that we know helps improve health outcomes and overall well-being."

"Our expanded partnership with Cecelia Health has an important role in the larger digital ecosystem of connected solutions and services LifeScan is creating to help support a healthy lifestyle for the millions of people with diabetes who count on OneTouch brand products every day," Asbury said.

This expanded partnership with Cecelia Health is another way that LifeScan continues to focus on the individual needs of people with diabetes and other chronic conditions, and their caregivers, to promote effective management. Cecelia Health's CDCES support model has a proven track record of increasing medication adherence by 23% and reducing A1C values by an average of 1.5 points. Cecelia Health's support model coupled with LifeScan's OneTouch Reveal app, which uses a cloud-based patient-engagement ecosystem linking people to providers, offers a powerful combination of data, technology, and human insight to optimize diabetes and other chronic disease management.

"We're thrilled to expand our partnership with LifeScan to provide people living with diabetes the best care possible. Adding a live telehealth service enables the development of deep and lasting relationships with people who use OneTouch products, educating and guiding them on their journey to better health outcomes," said Mark Clermont, Cecelia Health CEO. "This partnership is emblematic of LifeScan's vision to create a world without limits for people with diabetes and related conditions, and I am proud that Cecelia Health's clinical teams have a role in supporting this goal."

With this partnership, people with diabetes and related health conditions who count on OneTouch products will develop one-on-one personal relationships with their Cecelia Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist (CDCES). Certified care specialists will help them better manage their blood sugar levels and overall health by providing support on diet and exercise, mental wellness, and technical aspects of diabetes device management. Personalized support will be initiated through the OneTouch Reveal app, creating a seamless experience and eliminating fatigue from usage of multiple communication platforms.

The Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist (CDCES) live telehealth support will be available on the OneTouch Reveal app and will be fully integrated into OneTouch Solutions, a new portal designed to offer a choice of support, guidance and digital tools to help people with diabetes thrive in their own way. OneTouch Solutions will be offered to consumers in the US starting this Fall, and then offered to healthcare providers and payors as a reimbursed adjudicated option in early 2022.
